          @BBCBreaking there should have been a safety system on the ride that stops human error #copout

          @BBCBreaking disrespectful to those with life changing injuries. There needs to be a massive safety overhaul as humans do make errors

          @Gr3ffi @BBCBreaking If a car crashes on a road, do we close the road for good? We learn from accidents never to allow them to happen again.

          @BBCBreaking Really? The system was designed without built in safety features, or were these overridden?
